Free backpacks, school supplies coming to Jenison

Jenison residents will be among those invited to participate in a national backpack giveaway campaign, sponsored by The Cellular Connection (Verizon Premium Wireless Retailer ).

More than 400 participating TCC stores across the U.S. are
inviting local families to bring their children to the store between noon and 2
p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 3, to pick up a backpack filled with pencils, paper, a pencil box,
folders, glue, and more. Backpacks will be given away on a first-come,
first-served basis while supplies last.

The participating store in Jenison is
located at 7589 Cottonwood Drive, Suite A. Each participating TCC store will
donate between 100 and 150 backpacks. Any leftover backpacks will be donated to
local schools.
